By this same logic, you can justify the heroin trade, the slave trade, and the child pornography trade.
- stcredzero 16y agoWhy is everyone umping to the conclusion that I'm justifying SEO spam? I'm only saying it creates value. (While destroying some for others.) This means that it can be co-opted.
- tomrod 16y agoYaye for libertarianism! Oh wait, these things are a net-negative for society and those involved. Never mind, argument is null.
- stcredzero 16y agoa) Not libertarian b) Not justifying SEO spam, but rather pointing out that there's an economic opportunity in disrupting it!
- jokermatt999 16y agoObvious trolling, but the slave trade and child pornography probably wouldn't be down with most libertarian principles. The core I've seen from most libertarian folks is "Do what you want to yourself, but don't harm other people." Slavery and child pornography are fairly obviously harming others. Heroin is trickier.
- tomrod 16y agoAgreed
- derleth 16y agoNo, more like 'yay for anarchism!'
